[Q] I think I bricked it...help would be nice :D

So I flashed the initial kernel file using ODIN3 to my captivate running Continuum __ and I'm getting stuck at the Galaxy S CyanogenMod screen. I was wondering if there is any way to fix this other than purchasing the resistors and making a jig...

Did you try flashing back to stock?

Continuum is a Froyo ROM, right? Were you trying to pair a gingerbread kernel with a Froyo ROM?
Can you get into DL mode to odin back?

hmm flashing the WRONG kernel screwed you...
soo....

First off, what you described isnt even close to a brick.
You need to tell us a couple things. Can you get into download mode? have you tried to flash back to stock?

well the problem is that i cant get into download mode or boot into recovery

Anyway to "adb reboot download"?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

nope cause i cant get the usb debugging to work since it wont boot at all

Been there once...what I did was...removed the battery ..and out my phone in Download mode...flashed back to Stock 2.1 and did everything again
You said you cant put it in DL mode? were your 3 button combo working when U flashed initial kernel?
Its definitely not bricked, try putting it into DL mode and flash to stock..
1. remove the usb cable, battery, sdcard, SIM.
2. wait 10 seconds, then insert the USB cable.
3. press and hold the 3 button combo while you insert the battery
4. continue to hold until phone's screen goes black twice and release power button.
5. timing is critical, it may not work the first time. Keep going until you see the COM port is connected properly.

well when i was flashing initial kernel i just did adb download and the flashed it and when i follow your steps it just puts me back to boot screen and i stay there

so did you read the instructions where it says to not use commands like "adb reboot download" or "adb reboot recovery"? and to make sure you had a working three button recovery before you attempted installation of the ROM?

oohh...i didnt check that, so is that what screwed it up? and if so how can i fix it?

Another one bites the dust...

Looks like you dont have 3-button combo and U still tried to flash CM7 ....next time PLEASE read the instruction...I think only Jig can help you....there r many threads which teaches you to make jigs.

If you can see a screen, it's not bricked. For download mode, did you try (from a powered-off state) holding Vol+ and Vol-, then inserting the USB plug? You may also have to take the battery out, hold v+/v-, insert plug, then insert battery.
If those don't work, look into getting yourself a jig.

yes i get the AT&T logo infinite looping but no way to get download mode.. yes I even tried the vol+vol- ...

If those combinations aren't working for you, you will most likely need to either buy or make yourself a jig. It's not very expensive - either buy 3 resistors at an electronics store, or see if you can find one on Ebay. That's the easiest, most surefire way to get into download mode.
One last thing to try, though, just in case - try holding Vol- and Power from a powered-off state. That's the Gingerbread combination for i9000 bootloaders, but it won't hurt to try them.

Once you get into download mode, don't flash jf6 newer phones don't like that firmware and they do exactly what your's is doing. Bootloop and broken button combos.
Flash any other firmware other than jf6 and you'll be good.

where can I get a new firmware with Odin??.. I supposed the odin JF6 was the best for resuming 2.1 stock firmware.. can you please post me a link on xda of a similar odni firmware?
I used JF6 only beacuse on the forum it said that is the best for installing the i9000 bootloader and kernel... thanks

Here ya go... [Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection)+[Kernels (Stock & w/ CWM)]+[Modems] UPDATED ---- These are all i897 firmwares, some with the choice of i897 GB Bootloaders included and some without.

ok I get the jig.. finally I get the download mode ,, I 'm trying to install the 2.3.3 kernel +bootloader UCKF1 is this ok?

That should work, as you're installing a Gingerbread Rom, you'll need the matching bootloaders.
Just make sure you have a good connection to your computer, and that your computer won't lose power in the process.

Hi, thank you all ,, all worked 100% .. one more thing.. why the bootloader is not the i9000 bootloader ? if I want to install the cm7 can I just install from market the rom manager?? .. and about the root+busybox .. does the super-one click works with 2.3.3 ?

Glad to hear it worked.
- UCKF1 uses the AT&T Gingerbread bootloaders, not the i9000. You have the option to flash the i9000 ones separately, but I wouldn't recommend it, as there really isn't a pressing reason to put yourself in that danger.
- If you want to try CM7 again, I would recommend installing it separately from Rom manager - rom manager tends to be problematic.
- I don't think super one-click works with 2.3.x roms. You'll need to flash a kernel with CWM baked in (like boog's kernel) using Odin or Heimdall, then flash CM7.

thank you lot for helping me .. if I install directly this one:
With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
Boog includes recovrey.. so once install this I can get even recovery ready for cm7???

On the page of one-clicks, in this section:
I897UCKH3 Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
Heimdall Package, With Bootloaders - Link to thread - by AdamOutler
Without Bootloaders - Link to thread - by 4-2ndtwin [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
Heimdall Package, Without Bootloaders - Link to thread - by jmtheiss [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog] (Not tested)
Stock Kernel - Link 1 / Link 2
Kernel with CWM - Link to thread - by Boog
Use one of the two that I have left highlighted. If you want to use Odin, use the first one. If you prefer Heimdall, use the second one. Either one will get you to a stock state, with CWM, so that you can flash CM7. And, both will do this without flashing bootloaders. Definitely, no matter what, do not choose a package with bootloaders. You want a package that says "no bootloaders".

[Q] Semi Bricked?

I was trying to root/upgrade a captivate for a friend...
Had trouble, ended up restored to 2.1...rooted it and got into cwm, tried to load NYX ICS and phone would boot then black screen and I could hear the boot sounds...
Tried restore back to 2.1 and now I have the phone dots computer screen. I can get to download mode, but odin doesn't seem to want to work...
Any tips/tricks/ideas?

Sounds like to me you didn't have gingerbread bootloaders installed, instead had enclair bootloaders, you need to be on 2.3 gingerbread bootloaders to flash ICS. Try doing an odin one-click flash from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
Using the kk4 odin with bootloaders, I would remove the external sdcard and the sim card first, just to be sure.
But flashing bootloaders you can hard brick your phone and it will need to get jtagged.
Read the forums and understand what you are doing.
As always, I am not responsible if this messes up your phone.
Good luck

Thanks, downloading now...Yeah I figured out the bootloader part afterward...guess I needed to do more reading before I jumped in...

Odin recognizes the phone, but then seems to hang on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!. It does setup connection, initialization, then set pit file first...so it seems to be working...I am going to leave it for a long while and see.
How long should it take?

Assuming you are running gingerbread with gingerbread bootloaders and you can get CWM, then yes.

[Q] SGH-I897 soft bricked?

hey guys, i believe i acquired a soft bricked galaxy s last night. from what the girl told me, it had been rooted, custom rom installed, and im guessing a kernel aswell.it gets past the "world phone" screen then gets stuck at the glowing android coming out of the ground. Im assuming its a kernel problem. ive tried alot of methods on here, searched alot of the forums on these phones being soft bricked. tried the vol+,home, power; vol-,home, power; both volumes, power; also tried with connecting usb and odin open; both volumes, connect usb, input batt; vol-, connect usb, input batt; ectect. i just cant get past that boot logo. I have the drivers from samsung installed but when connecting to the computer it registers that something connected but doesnt identify the phone. so is there anything i am missing guys? i read about the jig and i am guessing thats where im gonna have to go with this. no problem there; just seeing if anyone has any other ideas. thanks in advance guys!

A jig will force download mode but is only needed is vol down + power button doesn't get you in it.
Do you know if she was on gb and up? That would change your button combo to get in recovery to vol up + down + power button.
If you can get in recovery that way, you have 2 options: 1- clear cache and dalvik (in advanced) and try rebooting. 2- reflash the custom ROM she was running (without deleting anything).
If recovery doesn't work, get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders (in dev section). From there, you'll need to flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and you'll be able to get in recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps she was running. *Doing this will wipe her apps and apps data*

yea, whatever happens to the phone doesnt matter, its mine now, was just given to me. sadly idk what rom she was running, her sd card is MIA, and idk what OS she was running on. i highly doubt she would even know. so at this point after trying all the button combos, think a jig is the only option?

What happens if u pull the battery, replace it, leave phone off, phone must be off, connect usb end of cable to ur pc, hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone ??
Download mode yes or no ?
If no see my sig below (if ur on a pc or in a web browser)...there are links there on how to make a Jig and/or where to buy a Jig.

Same story man. Probably gonna be jig is what it is looking like. Any ideas what cause this to happen? Ex. Not being able to enter recovery/download by using proper button combos?

Just a known issue on some Capivates. But the flash up to GB firmware is the fix for the button combos failin to work. Once u have the GB BLs ur button combos should work.
So once u get a jig, Odin or Heimdall up to KK4 with Bootloaders (heed all warnings about flashin BLs). Then u can Odin KK4 Corn Kernel and proceed where u wish.

After the Stock kk4 flash it will have....Stock i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5 Firmware.
So afterwards u will need to use Odin to flash the .tar file version of the KK4 Corn Kernel in order to get cwm recovery and go from there in the flashin of dev roms if u want.

Little precision: Odin one click is what you'll be using to flash KK4 (stock gb firmware). Odin 1.85 is what you'll need to flash Corn kernel (.tar is PDA slot).

Sounds great. Should be able to get it done today
